Variable Pitch Springs

Variable Pitch Springs

Overview

Variable pitch springs, also known as non-uniform pitch springs, are specially designed springs with uneven coil spacing. This unique structure allows them to provide different stiffness levels and adaptive response characteristics under varying loads. They are commonly used in applications requiring dynamic load absorption, such as automotive suspension systems and mechanical devices.

Features & Advantages

1. Variable Stiffness:

•The design of variable pitch springs allows their stiffness (K value) to change as compression increases.

•During initial compression, the spring remains soft and flexible, while further compression increases its rigidity, making it effective in handling sudden load changes.

2. Comfort & Stability:

•Since the stiffness adapts to the load, variable pitch springs enhance driving comfort in normal conditions while providing strong support during sudden braking or heavy loads.

3. High Adaptability:

• Ideal for applications demanding high stability, such as motorcycles and automotive suspension systems.

•Effectively absorbs road surface shocks while maintaining excellent handling performance.

Applications

• Automotive Suspension Systems:

• Widely used to improve ride comfort and handling stability.

• Mechanical Equipment:

• Found in various industrial machinery to provide shock absorption and support functions.

Variable pitch springs offer an innovative solution for applications requiring adaptive stiffness and load control, making them an essential component in modern engineering and automotive systems.
